Stevens Marked Springfield Model 5100 With Plastic Stocks

[albayo]

I am looking at trading some items for a Springfield 5100 16 gage SXS with 28" barrels and plastic stocks that look like dark walnut.

It looks like a nice gun but I can't find any info on the plastic stocks.
I have a plastic forestock in my parts for a single shot but I don't know what gun it fits.

I haven't run across any info on shotguns with this type of stocks.

It's a great little gun and I looked up the 5100 but it states it should have a walnut set of furniture.

Are they fragile, and did they come out around the same time Remington came out with the Nylon 66?

Should I or can I get a set of walnut stocks for it and keep the plastic stocks for display?

Are they a collectors item, if so what are they worth as trade value?

What are your thoughts on 16 gage compared to 12 or 20 Gage?

Thanks your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have 2 of the same stock on bolt action stevens. They are VERY hard to sell. No collector value.finding a wood stock will be hard. they are worth,IMHO $100-150 & if u want an upland gun as they kick hard. In Alberta a 16 is a hard sell aswell.Not sure about NB. If u wanted to trade it to me I'ld allow about the same as a cooey single. Sorry for the neg.reply but as u can tell i'm not a fan

Those stocks are probably made of Tenite plastic, which is noted for being a bit fragile - most of them I've seen have cracks. If the stocks are not cracked and the gun is in very good shape I would venture a value of $300 to $350. If it were my shotgun I don't think I would shoot it much with the Tenite stocks in place.

16 gauge can be a fine upland gun, but I expect that in a 5100 you really have a 16 gauge gun built on a 12 gauge frame. For reference I have a 12 Gauge 5100 with walnut stocks which weighs 7-1/4 pounds, be interesting to see how much that 16 weighs.
